Join the Keystone Wood Products Association, BLaST IU 17, and the PA Bureau of Forestry, for a collaborative, hands-on professional development experience!

Follow the journey of native oak trees from forest to finished product. This STEELS-aligned workshop shows how oak management in Tiadaghton State Forest connects directly to careers in the wood products industry. Teachers will see how forestry, milling, and manufacturing interconnect and will learn how to use Project Learning Tree’s Green Jobs: Exploring Forest Careers curriculum to introduce students to career pathways. 

Participants will meet professionals working at each stage of the oak supply chain and leave with simple, ready-to-use activities that help students explore sustainable forestry and wood products careers. Formal and non-formal educators of all backgrounds are encouraged to attend this event.
